May Polyphony go bankrupt, Ameen.

I have lost my patience with this crap, I'm getting a 360 and a copy of Forza.

My PS3 has been catching dust for a long time and it seems it'll continue to do so.

It was never delayed in the US, just in Japan. If you guys remember, there was never a release date, just press speculation. This is the first "official" delay.

But seriously. How is Duke 'em Nuke 'em coming out BEFORE GT5? The world is finally ending, and you heard it here first.

Yeah that's like a prophecy of some kind... scary.

But nonetheless, the US is every manufacturer's "make it or break it" market. Yeah GT5's delay WON'T put Polyphony out of business, but they have managed to pi$$ off quite a big chunk of their market.

Lately, Sony's been making all these really awesome deadline announcements, and backing away from them very close to their day. With this, AND with my Xperia X10's 2.1 Update! I mean C'MON!

I've noticed that just quality alone brings back 60% of the people who said "screw it" and bought Forza.

PS3 Firmware the Real Cause of Gran Turismo 5’s Delay?

More information is slowly filtering out about GT5’s delay, and it fits in neatly with everything else we’ve learned about the game’s production in the past 24 hours. Here’s what was recently posted by Maximus – a respected moderator at the Blu-Ray.com forums with reported connections to Sony:

[I]Like I said it is manufacturing issues. I had it confirmed today.

The problem arose when SCE mandated SDK 350 on all games releasing after after October, GT5 was about to go gold running on SDK 341, but it has been delayed by around a week so that they can update to SDK 350. This has caused a big headache for the manufacturing side, given how big this game is missing the gold date by even a week can cause a months worth of delay as slots are already taken up at this time of year for Blu-ray movies and such. So Sony had to find a 3 week slot big enough to make 7m+ copies of this and get them shipped out.

If you want to blame anyone, I would direct it at the pirates and hackers, SCE never had any real SDK restrictions before firmware 3.41 was compromised.[/I]

Yamauchi Discusses Gran Turismo 5’s Delay
Gran Turismo 5 Interviews April 20th, 2010 by Jordan

One of the more unpleasant surprises we’ve had waiting for Gran Turismo 5 was the unexpected postponement of the game’s March 2010 Japanese release. It was a quiet announcement, but set a somber tone at the beginning of the year for us eager fans. Since that time, we have not received any sort of information on exactly why that happened – until now. In an excellent interviewwith Dean Gibson of AutoExpress last weekend, Yamauchi-san clarified things a little bit:

“Actually, I think that March would’ve been too early. We could have produced the game in time to make that deadline, but the finished product wouldn’t have had everything that I wanted to include.”

Yamauchi also discusses why different manufacturers are in the game, and reiterates the fact that the ultimate release date is entirely up to Sony. For more, read the full interview here. Thanks to Dean for collaborating with me on this!

While it is great to finally receive clarification on the delay, I am still intrigued by the situation. Shortly after the delay was announced, I posted this analysis of the most likely reasons. As you may recall, Yamauchi and his translator did not hesitate to confirm the March date during this video interview with TechCrunch, which was filmed a mere four days before the postponement was announced by Sony. It would be very interesting to know what happened in those few short days which caused such a drastic change of plans…

Some information that i found i regarding GT5 and its delay ,

It is said that GT5 has been delayed because PD and Sony wanted make sure that the game cannot be jail broken , and lose potential sales , it does make scene but still not a 100 % sure about the news , and some information also points out that GT5 is delayed because of Xbox Kinect release .

Fahd.

[Bilaltq]

I love how you're trying to save face here even though you don't need to

GT5 is delayed. No one cares why. No consumer cares whether it was PS3's firmware, or a jailbreak failsafe mechanism, or whatever.
It's delayed again. That's about it. We've been used to "GT5 is delayed" since last year.
